Where it stands

Google has reduced the battery size in the Pixel 11 Series, particularly in the Pixel 11 Pro. The change comes as Google introduces the Tensor G6 chip, which is expected to improve overall efficiency. The move is driven by Google's focus on advancing battery technology.

Android Central and PhoneArena suggest that Google is working on a significant battery upgrade, potentially involving silicon-carbon batteries. However, Google has not confirmed these details. Android Authority notes that Google has not officially stated whether the Pixel 11 Series uses silicon-carbon batteries.

The impact of these changes on real-world battery life is not yet clear. Android Headlines and Droid Life focus on the trade-offs between smaller batteries and the Tensor G6's capabilities. The extent to which the Tensor G6 can compensate for the reduced battery size is still unknown.
